Tips & best practices: getting the most out of the Sales & Finance Dashboard

The new Sales & Finance Dashboard is packed with powerful features to help you work smarter, not harder. Here are some key tips to help you navigate and use the dashboard more efficiently.

Last updated on 05 Feb, 2026

1. Understand what you're looking at with built-in definitions

Need clarity on what a metric means? There are two easy ways to find definitions:

  • Look for the ℹ️ icon next to a chart or title: hover to view the explanation

  • In tables, hover over the column title to see the full description

These definitions help you make confident, data-informed decisions without second-guessing the numbers.

 


2. Save time with bookmarks

Use the same filters every day? Don’t set them manually each time.

  • In the top-right corner, click “Save bookmark” after applying your filters

  • The next time you open the dashboard, just select your bookmark to instantly return to your preferred view

  • Bookmarks are user-specific, so they won’t affect what others see

This is especially useful for daily check-ins or recurring tasks.

3. Automate reporting with scheduled exports

Say goodbye to manual downloads. With Scheduled Exports, you can:

✅ Export the entire dashboard or just individual charts or tables
✅ Choose how often you want reports: daily, weekly, monthly, or custom
✅ Send exports directly to email, Google Drive, or SFTP servers

To get started, click ‘Schedule exports’ on any dashboard or chart.

4. Customize tables to suit your needs

You can personalize tables directly within the dashboard:

  • Click on any column to filter, rename, or remove it

  • Rearrange the view to highlight the data that matters most to you

  • Combine this with bookmarks to save your custom view for later

5. Use drilldown for deeper insights

Want to dive into the details behind a chart?

  • Right-click on a chart (e.g. Sales Channel)

  • Select Drilldown to explore the breakdown of that metric

This gives you quick answers without needing to switch tabs or download anything.

6. Reset the dashboard anytime

Applied too many filters and lost track?

  • Click “Reset dashboard” at the top of the page to clear all filters and start fresh.

This is a quick fix when your data view looks off or unexpectedly empty.
